Letter: It's all the media's fault

If the public does not hold the Senate and President Barack Obama responsible for the government shutdown and our out-of-control debt problem we can blame the media for not informing the public.

The House of Representatives of the United States is supposed to be a check and balance on the president and the Senate. They are not supposed to be YES men to the other branches of government. Doug LaMalfa is our representative and is doing a good job in representing the majority of people who elected him. Obamacare is a disaster that will hurt more people than it helps. California got almost a billion dollars to implement obamacare in California. We could have insured everyone in this state with that money.

The House is standing up to Obama and his overspending tactics. How much debt will Obama put on the backs of our children and grandchildren before the media will report the truth? We are finally learning the truth about our own city of Chico and their overspending habits ... too bad it took so long.
